The result of running the script（kubectl cluster-info --context kind-rasa） is as follows

duanzhihua@duanzhihua-virtual-machine:~/my_rasa3.x_rasax$ kubectl cluster-info --context kind-rasa
Kubernetes control plane is running at https://127.0.0.1:45457
CoreDNS is running at https://127.0.0.1:45457/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/kube-dns:dns/proxy

To further debug and diagnose cluster problems, use 'kubectl cluster-info dump'.

Run the following script to prompt an error：secrets “rasactl” already exists

duanzhihua@duanzhihua-virtual-machine:~/my_rasa3.x_rasax$ sudo rasactl start rasa-x --kubeconfig /home/duanzhihua/.kube/config
Error: secrets "rasactl" already exists

If use the command （rasactl start examplerasax --values-file ./values.yml）to run, the prompt examplerasax deployment does not exist

duanzhihua@duanzhihua-virtual-machine:~/my_rasa3.x_rasax$ rasactl start examplerasax --values-file ./values.yml
Error: The examplerasax deployment doesn't exist.  

cat values.yml 
rasa:
  versions:
    rasaProduction:
      enabled: true
    rasaWorker:
      enabled: true

How to fix the error and run rasax Or how to reset and clear the old environment and create a new test environment, thank you

Hi @duanzhihua,

to me it looks like you have multiple instances of rasa-x already running. What does the rasactl list command show? In the first command you use the name rasa-x for the deployment in the second one examplerasax.

Short explanation of the second error (The examplerasax deployment doesn't exist.) If you already have one deployment of RASA X running the rasactl start command requires the --create flag to create an additional deployment.

I hope this helps.

Sören

I have not easy answer yet, but I will try to help. Can you run the commands with --debug flag please. Like this the error don’t really say much.

I also found another Forum entry with the same error (but no answer yet): Failed to download Rasa X from rasactl

Solve the problem that the ingress nginx image of domestic k8s cannot be pulled normally，Use the following mirrors

anjia0532/google-containers.ingress-nginx.controller 

anjia0532/google-containers.ingress-nginx.kube-webhook-certgen

Replace the following image

http://k8s.gcr.io/ingress-nginx/controller 

http://k8s.gcr.io/ingress-nginx/kube-webhook-certgen

hello, I am facing the same error now. Could you explain a little more how to replace the image and solve this error? Many thanks.
